Commercial Pressure Washing at Ikebana Apartments, West Melbourne
Commercial Pressure Washing at Ikebana Apartments, West Melbourne Client: Ikebana ApartmentsLocation: West Melbourne, VICService Provided: Commercial Pressure Washing – Building Facade, Terrace Floors, and Lobby Entrances Client Concern The facility management team at Ikebana Apartments reached out to Tidy Hands Facility Services regarding several exterior maintenance issues, including: Algae build-up on exterior walls, creating a slippery surface and unattractive appearance. Heavy dirt and grime on the terrace flooring across three lobby entrances. Oil and grease stains on the pedestrian walkways, originating from a nearby restaurant. These concerns not only affected the aesthetic appeal of the property but also raised safety risks for residents and visitors. Site Challenges As with many commercial pressure cleaning jobs, this site presented a few key challenges: The cleaning area was open to high pedestrian traffic, requiring additional public safety precautions. There was no direct wastewater containment, increasing the risk of polluted water entering the stormwater system—a common issue in urban exterior washing projects. Our Professional Approach We took a structured and compliant approach to deliver safe and effective high-pressure exterior cleaning: Site Risk Assessment & Planning:Our team conducted a thorough on-site risk assessment to identify hazards related to foot traffic, water runoff, and slip risks. Safety Measures Implemented: Temporary exclusion zones were set up using signs, bollards, and cones to restrict access during the cleaning process. A dedicated spotter was assigned to monitor the area and guide pedestrians safely. We used commercial vacuum recovery systems to collect wastewater and prevent it from flowing into nearby stormwater drains. Specialised Equipment:The cleaning was completed using our industrial-grade commercial pressure washer, capable of removing algae, oil, and grime without damaging surfaces. Our system’s superior flow rate and heat output ensured deep surface restoration without the need for harsh chemicals. Results Delivered The exterior walls were restored to a clean, algae-free condition. All terrace and entry areas were thoroughly cleaned, improving slip resistance and curb appeal. The entire job was delivered safely, efficiently, and with environmental compliance in mind—demonstrating our commitment to sustainable pressure washing practices.
